Method for providing additional functions based on information

Abstract

A method for providing information at an electronic device is provided. The method includes obtaining contents, determining one or more extraction items on the contents, extracting one or more values, corresponding to the determined one or more extraction items, from the contents, and providing reconstructed information including the extraction result.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for providing information at an electronic device, the method comprising:
 obtaining contents;   determining one or more extraction items on the contents;   extracting one or more values, corresponding to the determined one or more extraction items, from the contents; and   providing reconstructed information by including the extraction result.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the one or more extraction items comprises:
 determining a template to be applied to the contents; and   determining a plurality of extraction items included in the template.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the determining of the template comprises:
 determining metadata associated with the contents; and   selecting at least one template corresponding to the metadata.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the metadata comprises at least one of information on an application associated with the contents or source information of the contents. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the metadata comprises a language set at the electronic device, and
 wherein the providing of the reconstructed information provides the reconstructed information by the set language.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the template comprises a pre-condition item, and
 wherein the determining of the template further comprises determining a template, in which the pre-condition item is satisfied by the contents, from among the at least one template selected.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the extracting comprises:
 obtaining extraction information of each one of the one or more extraction items; and   extracting a value corresponding to the each of the one or more extraction item based on the obtained extraction information.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the extraction information comprises at least one of node information indicating a specific position at a structure of the contents or a regular expression indicating a format of a text included in the contents. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more extraction items comprises at least one essential extraction item, and
 further comprising:
 transferring, if extraction on at least one item among the at least one essential extraction item fails, a failure log to a server. 
   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the determining of the template comprises:
 transferring, if failing to determine the template, a failure log to a server;   receiving at least one additional template from the server in response to the transferred failure log; and   determining at least one of the at least one additional template as a template for extracting information included in the contents.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 transferring, if no additional template is received from the server, a template update reservation request requesting a template or notification provision when an additional template on the failure log is provided from the server.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 transferring a log on the extraction result to a server periodically.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the providing of the reconstructed information comprises:
 replacing a first screen based on the contents, with a second screen constructed to have a format different from the first screen, and   wherein the second screen is configured to include the reconstructed information.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the reconstructed information comprises at least one of another application item associated with the reconstructed information or an external link item. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the providing of the reconstructed information comprises:
 outputting the reconstructed information to at least a portion of a first screen, based on the contents, in an overlay manner.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the providing of the reconstructed information comprises:
 outputting the reconstructed information to a notification bar area.   
     
     
         17 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a control module configured to obtain contents; and   an information extraction module configured to:
 determine one or more extraction items on the contents, and 
 extract one or more values corresponding to the determined one or more extraction items, 
   wherein the control module is configured to provide reconstructed information including the extraction result.   
     
     
         18 . The electronic device of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 a template manager configured to determine a template to be applied to the contents,   wherein the information extraction module is configured to determine a plurality of extraction items included in the template.   
     
     
         19 . The electronic device of  claim 19 , wherein the reconstructed information is set to be provided to a wearable device coupled with the electronic device. 
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions, the instructions, which executed by at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to perform at least one operation, the at least one operation comprising:
 obtaining contents;   determining one or more extraction items on the contents;   extracting one or more values, corresponding to the determined one or more extraction items, from the contents; and   providing reconstructed information including the extraction result.
